What It’s Like to Ski Down a Mountain With a Beer in Hand

Being able to ski downhill while holding a beer with the goal of spilling as little as possible is quite the skill.

That or a colossal waste of a worthwhile beverage. Turns out the bearded dude who filmed this video, known as ‘The Brad,’ took part in a little run called ‘Race to the Base’ during a ski weekend in Idaho where beer fanatics endeavor to tackle a slope, beer in hand.

The Brad said, “The wind was howling, the fog was pretty extreme, and I actually got vertigo for the first time in my life.” He actually put the beer to good use to combat the dizziness, admitting, “I sat down and took a little drink to regain my composure, but other than that I kept my cup pretty full!”

We attempt something like this every winter, except without the skiing part.
